+## Project Description
+Ever have a performance problem, but don't know what performance counters to collect or how to analyze them?
+The PAL (Performance Analysis of Logs) tool is a powerful tool that reads in a performance monitor counter log and analyzes it using known thresholds.
+
+
+## Features
+ - Thresholds files for most of the major Microsoft products such as IIS, MOSS, SQL Server, BizTalk, Exchange, and Active Directory.
+ - An easy to use GUI interface which makes creating batch files for the PAL.ps1 script.
+ - A GUI editor for creating or editing your own threshold files.
+ - Creates an HTML based report for ease of copy/pasting into other applications.
+ - Analyzes performance counter logs for thresholds using thresholds that change their criteria based on the computer's role or hardware specs.
